The battle to be Brees’ backup is far from over. Griffin and Luke McCown have been sharing reps with the 2s, and will likely do so until one demonstrates more consistency. I think we’ll learn a lot from the scrimmage on Saturday.

For me, though, Griffin looks to be improving each day while McCown has digressed, often late with his release or missing open men altogether. If the Saints are to part ways McCown, Griffin will have to prove to coaches he could step in and lead the team should Brees ever go down.

I’m torn between undrafted free agents Brandon Coleman and Jones. I think both have a shot to make the team, but after watching Jones for the past few days, I think he’s in the lead — barely.

Yes, I know it’s a reach, but at times, he’s looked sharp.

With Jones in, that means, with numbers as tight as they are, Joseph Morgan would be out. Morgan has been taking reps as a punt returner, which could be his way on to roster.

There is still time for guys like Andy Tanner and Charles Hawkins, both of whom also have worked as return men, to impress, possibly sneaking on at the last moment. As of now, Toon seems to be a lock. He’s been as good as any receiver and is fast becoming one of Brees’ favorite targets.

Rooks, a sixth-round selection, came off the non-football injury list on Tuesday and practiced for the first time. As of now, he makes the cut based on potential and the Saints’ need to develop more depth at tackle.

Harris should also be safe because of the Saints’ depth issues at tackle. After spending last year on the Saints practice squad, Senio Kelemete has filled in nicely for Grubbs, who’s been in shorts for the past few days. Kelemete’s chances of making the roster grow the longer Grubbs sits.

Johnson’s athleticism is easy to see, as is his continued improvement. He’s shown flashes at times and could be an asset in pass rushing situations.

With the Jenkins still on the PUP list, I wanted to add Brandon Deaderick, but I just haven’t seen enough out of him yet to warrant giving him what could be one of the last spots on the team. He is still learning the defense, though, and the longer Jenkins is out, the better his chances are.

This was probably the easiest position to project. Lewis, Bailey, Robinson and White are all locks to make the team.

They all have had their moments in camp, too. Jean-Baptiste needs more time (which he’ll get) to develop and learn the playbook so he can play more instinctively. Sweeting stuck around last year, but is now buried in a group that includes Tevin Wade and Terrence Frederick.

I just couldn’t leave Warren off the roster. Sure, it’s only been five days, but he’s made too many plays.

Moreover, with Vacarro, Byrd and Sunseri all returning from injuries last season, it leaves just one safety who wasn’t injured. In today’s pass-happy NFL, depth in the secondary is an advantage I just can’t see the Saints cutting.
